The Expos' first season was 1969. Of the 42 players who suited up for that team, 28 are still alive. The oldest is Roy Face and the youngest is Don Hahn.
These are the Living Expos as of 5-1-2018. The ages are NOT accurate and I will NOT be updating them. Anyone that wishes to may feel free to do so.

Bob Bailey, who passed away in early January 2018 at age 75 was a Pittsburgh Pirates' bonus baby, but he paid his best dividends to other teams, particularly the Expos. he was an Expo between their expansion year of 1969 and 1975. Defensively, he was an above average third baseman, Three years stood out for Bailey, offensively. 1970: 28 HR, 84 RBI, .287 b. avg.; 1973: 26 HR, 86 RBI, .273 b. avg; 1974: 20 HR, 73 RBI, ..280 b.avg. overall he was a big leaguer for 17 years 1962 to 1978, debuting a month before his 20th birthday. In his final year he only played 43 games for the '78 Boston Red Sox and contributed poorly with just 4 HR and 8 RBI, with a .191 b. avg. on a team that could have used more solid production off the bench in their year-long battle wih the Yankees for the A.L. East crown. His 17 seasons, 1931 games played, 1.564 hits, 189 home runs and .257 batting average mark him as an a solid, if not spectacular contributor to 1960s and 1970s teams. Bailey played for the Pirates, dodgers, Expos, Reds, and Red sox (in that order) and he was a strong contributor off the bench to the 1976 World's Championship Cincinnati Reds team where he hit .298 in a limited role (69 games, 124 at bats).
